2009 Nissan Qashqai 2.0L Petrol · D14 LAD

This Nissan Qashqai has maintained a consistent MOT history, passing every test without fail from April 2021 through April 2025 at the most recent inspection. The absence of defects or advisories across five consecutive tests suggests the vehicle has been kept in a stable condition, though the lack of any recorded issues does not preclude underlying wear that hasn’t yet reached MOT failure thresholds. The most recent test in April 2025—just under three months ago—confirms the car remains roadworthy under current MOT standards, but the interval between tests (12 months) is standard, leaving no indication of recent mechanical intervention beyond what’s legally required. The mileage progression of approximately 6,400 miles per year aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. The recorded mileage at the last MOT (108,899) reflects steady accumulation without evidence of extended storage or neglect. While this pattern suggests reasonable care, the absence of service records means critical maintenance—such as suspension bush replacements, timing belt checks, or differential fluid changes—cannot be confirmed. The lack of advisories in prior tests also means no recurring failures have been documented, but this does not rule out deferred or hidden issues. A buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear subframe mounts and bushings, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Binding brakes or uneven wear on brake discs could indicate past neglect, though no such failures appear on record. Structural integrity should be assessed for corrosion, especially around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, as these areas are prone to deterioration over 17 years. Additionally, the exhaust system should be checked for leaks or excessive rust, as catalytic converter failures are common in this model range. While the MOT history is clean, independent verification of service history and a closer look at high-wear items will provide clearer insight into the vehicle’s true condition.
